Computer-aided Engineering Analyst

Responsibilities

• Build models for various applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial segments using commercial software (MSC-NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS Mechanical).
• Conduct CAE analysis under the guidance of a lead engineer or supervisor using CAE tools and support analysis with sound engineering explanation and hand calculations.
• Review results and findings with the lead engineer or supervisor and provide analytical insight.
• Recommend alternative analysis approaches and design solutions to meet the functional targets.
• Connect simulation with practical aspects of Cost/Weight/Investment (CWI), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis (DFMEA).
• Maintain pertinent information in assigned location and perform data cleanup.
• Learn different computer-aided engineering software packages quickly.
• Contribute to existing and develop new analyses capability as part of continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
• Minimum 1 year of CAE analysis experience.
• Fundamental knowledge in strength of materials and failure theory for metals and composites and vibration concepts.
• Knowledge of basic engineering principles and aptitude in modeling and simulation with ability to solve engineering problems.
• Good understanding of kinematics, static and dynamics.
• Good attention to detail and ability to use hand calculations to validate input and results.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical data to various audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics or Mathematics.
• Experience in writing scripts and process automation.
• Experience in modal, point mobility, and acoustic analysis.
• Experience in strength, stiffness and stress (including thermal) in linear and nonlinear (material and contact) domains.
• U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident allowing for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance.
• Proficient in at least one programming language (C++, Java and/or Python).
• Knowledge of finite element pre-processors, solvers and post-processors (Altair Hyperworks, ANSA &META, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, OPTISTRUCT, ANSYS, nCODE and FEMFAT).
